host: what should mitt romney talk about? caller: the military protection of our interests, he should continue to do so. i think like 5% of the cost in the pentagon, but we would not know, as we have not seemed to have a budget for anything. these folks call in for information -- bill clinton is the one who repealed glass- stiegel. it led to the downfall of housing and the problems we had in 2008. everyone contributed to it. 60 million jobs went away in the internet bubble. host: 94 calling in this morning. i want to point you to "the new york times," and the article calling for both campaigns to fine-tune their messages. host: here is a look at the dynamics on how they have shifted. the first part of that column is the unemployment numbers. host code that questioning of the jobs numbers continued today. this is from the opinion page, an editorial from "the washington times." we will read to you a little bit from that. host: yesterday, on the sunday shows, some of the president's advisers talked about the attacks on the depar

host: vita was talking about the facts and her concerns about mitt romney. guest: you are dealing with the candidate who was governor of massachusetts, a fairly liberal state. when he left office, he had done what a lot of people wanted him to do. turning from massachusetts to running for president as a republican, he will have to change a lot of positions, so he did. it is worth noting it is not like he is constantly changing his positions every two weeks. he really has kind of changed them all and seems to be sticking with them. the inartful comments he made in des moines did not signal to make a change in position. he was saying what a huge number of conservatives have been whispering about. you are not supposed to say it, about the need to deal with the fiscal crisis before you do anything else. that was stupid of him to say that, but i do not think it reveals a particular change in position. it is the one most prevalent that i hear among conservatives, even social conservatives that realized most important thing, the most important social progress for p

obama talks about the rich and how romney is rich. he has made it a dirty word to become rich, and he hangs with every celebrity and every rich person there is. as far as connections to people, i think romney has the better connection. that is all i wanted to say. host: all right, we will move on to miami, florida, independent caller bank. caller: i think of what some people are concerned about with this voucher -- i understand that health care is growing at twice that of inflation. you give somebody a voucher, a certain amount, let's say $6,000, $7,000, but over time, the cost of health care continues to rise and rise and rise. they have not given us any kind of idea of how they are going to keep up with the rising costs of health care on the particular policy. also, that particular board that under its so-called obamacare, costs and inflation and all those things that will address this issue is -- think that is a great idea of pit could you dispel the myth that this is a death panel, rationing of health care? guest: good point there

we are talking about the tax plans of president obama and candidate romney. extending the bush tax cuts, what is the cost for the richest 1% and the rest of the 99%? guest: it will cost about $5.50 trillion over 10 years. the president obama planned to not extend the bush tax cut on income over $250,000 only saves about $1 trillion. host: you are nodding your head. guest: a lot of people do not recognize what is in play. the bush tax cuts went to the top 2%, 3%. they received trillionths, depending on how you count the numbers. both candidates are proposing to extend both of those tax cuts. it will be difficult to do that unless semiserious plan to control entitlement spending. the president certainly does not have that. i think it is an open question how serious governor romney is about that. there was talk of an increase in proposed medicare spending over the next decade, which is not exactly a step towards fiscal responsibility. host of these comments -- -- host: these comments from twitter -- host: rosalie, conn., independent caller line. hello. caller: g

they keep talking about the 47% commented that mitt romney made. i hope they will debate that tonight, because i did not realize it was 47%. but i have been married 41 years to my husband and we are middle- class. we pay our taxes every year. at the end of the year we have to pay more taxes. i worked in a tax preparation office as a receptionist, got to hear all the people and i saw so many people that came in and paid maybe $300 income tax and get the government gave them $8,000 or $10,000 back. throughout my marriage we had to struggle. if my kids needed braces, we had to struggle and pay for the braces. whereas my neighbor, they got free housing. if their kids needed braces, they just got medicaid. if they needed food, they got food stamps. it was very frustrating for us to struggle and struggle and see everybody else getting a free ride around us. i did not realize it was 47%. but i knew a lot of people even in my own family that live on government subsidies. they know how to work the system and to get more. host: many have said that will be an
